"...any consumption of alcohol causes inflammation of the liver’s tissue. Once the liver is inflamed, it can no longer filter, which causes it to plug up with fat and become even more inflamed. If we consume enough alcohol, we overwhelm the liver’s ability to regenerate itself, and the net result is cirrhosis (or hardening) of the liver."
And, look, the main liver herb is named for the Heavenly Queen !
"Milk thistle, aka St. Mary's thistle, is probably the world's best known liver herb. Its two key compounds are silymarin and silibinin (aka silybin). Dozens of studies have shown that both silymarin and silibinin can prevent or counteract damage to the liver caused by toxins such as alcohol, acetaminophen (Tylenol), and other drugs, as well as environmental (heavy metals) and bacterial toxins, and even poison mushrooms"

I am not necessarily recommending this program. But the information given about treatment of liver congestion --- from which nearly every modern person suffers --- is sound. It helps us to focus on the importance of taking care of one's liver, the overburdening of which is responsible for many many ailments which need NOT occur with even a little care.
